hi!

happy to hear about this plans!

maybe we can ask funding here?

https://numun.fund/ I checked a bit but I don't know the orgs that 
partecipate in that fund.

I'm positive about the idea of peertube, but I don't think to help to 
maintain it.

I'm happy to partecipate in the conversation on backups (not as 
architect), I think that we have to do backup but also public wrote real 
clear that user have to conserve a local copy of what they put. that we 
offer the possibility to show in internet, the continuty  of the 
service, but they have to have a local archive. to not delegate totally 
, just in case to be no more in contact or phisical divided and.. only 
the user have the power to know what they want publish or not in the 
future. (repristinate a backup could be critical and expose things that 
was been erased). example for nextcloud, we can do a backup, but sync in 
local I think is a good suggestion to do to our user. I say because I do 
in another team, but ... yeee I'm open to speak about this if you see 
that can be not nice for whatever reason in systerserver.

if is confortable for you, maybe is usefull now that you are studing 
peertube.. if we put more than a services on a machine...

use docker to conteinarize them (only the running code, not db and not 
data/config :).

but not feel this as a strict request.. do as you know and we can speak 
and if we like we will move the services after..

I missed.. when and where you meet..

thanks for makes plan and I appreciate love for systerserver!

hugs ignifugo
